I've been building out this Tyan Tiger i7501 (S2723) dual-Xeon 2.8 MHz server board and thought I'd try Fedora after Ubuntu, Mint, OpenSuse gave me a few challenges. True, the CD on Ubuntu may be wearing out it died at 78%, even after I switched Cat5 cable and video card. Anyway, what can I do, it's been years since I tried Fedora/Red Hat?
I was surprised Linux tells me I have 4 cores, but not 64-bit, is that why I have these hiccups from Linux? I just can't help rescuing old hardware bargains, I put this $10.00 board in an old AT Gateway full tower case, a friend made the cut-out for the plugs for me. I picked up the CPUs at a cheap price on EBay, and used some Intel socket 423 CPU retention clips and coolers. I did some trades with fellow techs for the 4 GIG of PC3200 ECC RAM. Luckily, I had a spare on/off power switch because back then the front panel plug was unique to the case and paired with the the lock switch.
As you can see I can figure out hardware, but sometimes software can be puzzling.
Thanks for the suggestions,
Joan in Reno
